Coming from a strong lineage of Finnish artisans, Stepan Sarapaneva inherited the artistic touch from his mother, Pentti Sarpaneva, a renowned artisanal jewellery designer whose work is exhibited at the British Museum. With the gift for meticulous craftsmanship, Stepan worked under master watchmakers such as Vianney Halter, Parmigiani and Christophe Claret before embarking on his own journey to realise his vision of horology by establishing the Sarpaneva brand in 2003.
In 2020, Sarpaneva commemorated the 75th anniversary of the popular Finnish comic, Moomin, illustrated by none other than Tove Jansson. Three sets of 25-piece limited edition wristwatches were produced, inspired by the originally monochromatic comic. Differentiated into three variants with either blue, steel or gold hands, Sarpaneva applied his ingenuity and technical prowess to the fairy tale by incorporating Super-Luminova on the dial for a vivid psychedelic effect. The timepiece paid more than just a homage to the cartoon but surely a statement to the industry, portraying coloured luminous material as a form of art instead of a tool it to tell time in the dark.
Instantly recognised by collectors worldwide, Sarpaneva launched a second run on the dreamy Moomin tickers in 2021. Featuring a different scene, the same hand-crafted lumed skeletonized dial is interpreted once again in this edition, featuring a case composed of high-end Outokumpu steel usually seen in Sarpaneva’s permanent collection. Unlike its solid caseback older sibling, the second generation positioned its crown at 4 o’clock and with a sapphire caseback which invites the wearer to admire the self-winding rotor carved out of the firm’s signature angry Moonface with luminous-filled eyes and mouth.
Offered in excellent overall condition, complete with their original accessories, the present pair of Sarpaneva x Moomin are fresh-to-the-market offered by the original owner. Each numbered 7 out of 25 pieces, this set of spirited watches will be fantastic additions to any collection.
